McMaster is instant fulfillment!
I ordered a pair of Imperial model IE-180 wire cutters late on the 12th,
and they arrived just now. Hot damn, that's just about instantaneous... Must have shipped from Elmhurst. |

Good for you!
I have to order from MSC by 10:30 am to get that service here in western WI. Either way, it sure beats driving 40 or 50 miles one way to get something.

Must have shipped from Elmhurst. I get stuff from Grainger and McMaster the SAME day! Beat that! And, Grainger will open-up for me 24/7 for $50 fee. I've had to get parts in the middle of the night on occasion and the $50 was nowhere near the cost of the down-time. |

So I no longer order anything form Canada. (or China). I've had to let a lot of what looked like good deals go as a result. A company like MSC is relatively close to me, so that makes things a lot easier and cheaper. (I hope to be picking up a rotary table, dividing plates, and tailstock in a couple days).

Apparently, NAFTA did not do what it was supposed to do. Oh, I think it did just fine for large corporate interests. Nafta wasn't about Joe American or Ethan Canadian buying retail across national boundaries. Sad thing too. Canada of all countries should be a country where we can have fair and free trade with.

What part of western WI are you in?? It is a small world isn't it? McMaster, or MSC ship overnight here via Speedy. I'm surprised and confused why you don't get as good of service there also. |
